Dry-Brush Paintings of Friends

These are two paintings where I did of friends from school. It was the same setup at the academy as the Thom portrait where we paired off and drew/painted each other. For these I wasn't paired with anyone and had a chance to paint two different people. They are unfortunately unfinished because I became very ill in the last week of the poses and couldn't make it to class.

The sizes are 12x16 and 12x18. They were painted on canvas mounted on panels that I made myself. The paintings are used with a dry-brush method of drawings using only rose madder (windsor newton) oil paint.
